Whatman GD/XP Polyethersulfone (PES) Syringe Filters, 0.45 µm, 25 mm, 150/Pk - 6995-2504
Whatman's established manufacturing platform delivers the consistency and lot-level documentation that analytical laboratories require. A syringe filter seats a membrane in a sealed housing that threads onto a standard luer fitting. PES minimizes protein binding to maximize sample and analyte recovery while staying stable across the pH 1 to 14 range and draws aqueous samples through without pre-wetting. Polypropylene construction holds extractable contribution low for sensitive analyses and stays inert across common laboratory solvents. When method reproducibility rests on consistent sample prep, syringe filtration holds that standard injection after injection.
